My house in South Normanton is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will the lawyer have to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
My partner and I are selling our property in South Normanton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street South Normanton conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in South Normanton. Having lived in South Normanton for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in South Normanton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in South Normanton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in South Normanton typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in South Normanton or who has acted in the same development.
